This book was released on 1989 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Upper Wilcox genetic sequence (UWGS) is a transgressively bounded unit that represents the last major progradational episode associated with Wilcox (Paleocene-Eocene) deposition in the Texas Gulf Coast basin. The UWGS includes at outcrop, the Sabinetown Formation, the Carrizo Formation and the lower Reklaw Formation, and in the subsurface it includes the upper part of the Middle Wilcox Subgroup, all of the Upper Wilcox Subgroup and the lower part of the Reklaw Formation. UWGS depositional systems in the Rio Grande embayment (South Texas) include two large but distinct delta complexes, the Rosita and Burgos deltas. The Rosita delta system contains the Duval, Massive, and Live Oak deltas which were fed by the Carrizo fluvial system. The Burgos delta system contains the Fandango and the Zapata deltas and was fed by an unnamed and unmapped fluvial system originating from northern Mexico. Depositional systems within the UWGS in the Houston embayment (East Texas) include two small delta systems, the Columbus and the Jasper, and an intervening strandplain system, the Harris. The Columbus delta was supplied by the Jewett fluvial system and the Jasper delta by an unnamed and unmapped fluvial system originating in Louisiana. UWGS deposition began following the transgression of the Lower Wilcox shelf margin and the deposition of a regional marine mudstone containing a maximum flooding surface (MFS). An influx of sediment from the west from the last pulse of the Laramide Orogeny (55ma) began deltaic progradation in the Rio Grande embayment. At approximately the same time, delta systems in the Houston embayment first prograded and then were transgressed as the trunk fluvial system shifted to the southwest. The resulting transgressive deposits include the Yoakum shale, which defines the top of the Sabinetown Formation. A fall in sea level at the end of the Yoakum/Sabinetown transgression extended the delta systems in the Rio Grande embayment to the shelf edge; the smaller delta systems in the Houston embayment shifted basinward. A slow relative rise followed as the systems in both embayments continued to prograde/aggrade and then were progressively transgressed. A transgressive shelf with isolated sands ('Atkinson' sands) developed over the drowned basin margin. The Bigford barrier/lagoon complex marked the maximum landward migration of the shoreline

This book was released on 2018-06 with total page 87 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Report of Investigations No. 284, "Depositional history and stratigraphic evolution of the Upper Wilcox Group and Reklaw Formation, northern Bee County, Texas" is a detailed study of the upper Wilcox and Reklaw stratigraphic succession in a 190-mi2 (~490-km2) area along the upper Wilcox shelf margin in northern Bee County, Texas. By interpreting and mapping 19 high-frequency, fourth-order regressive-transgressive sequences, it demonstrates that the upper Wilcox to Reklaw succession contains greater variability in depositional systems, facies, and reservoir sandstone-body geometry than previously documented.

This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 421 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Masters Theses in the Pure and Applied Sciences was first conceived, published, and disseminated by the Center for Information and Numerical Data Analysis and Synthesis (CINDAS) * at Purdue University in 1957, starting its coverage of theses with the academic year 1955. Beginning with Volume 13, the printing and dissemination phases of the activity were transferred to University Microfilms/Xerox of Ann Arbor, Michigan, with the thought that such an arrangement would be more beneficial to the academic and general scientific and technical community. After five years of this joint undertaking we had concluded that it was in the interest of all con cerned if the printing and distribution of the volumes were handled by an interna tional publishing house to assure improved service and broader dissemination. Hence, starting with Volume 18, Masters Theses in the Pure and Applied Sciences has been disseminated on a worldwide basis by Plenum Publishing Cor poration of New York, and in the same year the coverage was broadened to include Canadian universities. All back issues can also be ordered from Plenum. We have reported in Volume 34 (thesis year 1989) a total of 13,377 theses titles from 26 Canadian and 184 United States universities. We are sure that this broader base for these titles reported will greatly enhance the value of this important annual reference work. While Volume 34 reports theses submitted in 1989, on occasion, certain univer sities do report theses submitted in previous years but not reported at the time.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Sedimentary Basins of the United States and Canada, Second Edition, focuses on the large, regional, sedimentary accumulations in Canada and the United States.

The book features four new chapters that cover the sedimentary basins of Alaska and the Canadian Arctic. In addition to sedimentary geologists, this updated reference is relevant for basin analysis, regional geology, stratigraphy, and for those working in the hydrocarbon exploration industry. Features updates to existing chapters, along with new chapters on sedimentary basins in Alaska and Arctic Canada Includes nearly 300 detailed, full-color paleogeographic maps Written for general geological audiences and individuals working in the resources sector, particularly those in the fossil fuel industry

Download or read book The Geology of Stratigraphic Sequences written by Andrew D. Miall and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2013-06-29 with total page 436 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Sequence stratigraphy represents a new paradigm in geology. The principal hypothesis is that stratigraphie successions may be subdivided into discrete sequences bounded by widespread unconformities. There are two parts to this hypothesis. First, it suggests that the driving forces which generate sequences and their bounding unconformities also generate predietable three-dimensional stratigraphies. In re cent years stratigraphie research guided by sequence models has brought about fundamental im provements in our understanding of stratigraphie processes and the controls of basin architecture. Sequence models have provided a powerful framework for mapping and numerieal modeling, enabling the science of stratigraphy to advance with rapid strides. This research has demonstrated the importance of a wide range of processes for the generation of cyclie sequences, including eustasy, tectonics, and orbital forcing of climate change. The main objective of this book is to document the sequence record and to discuss our current state of knowledge about sequence-generating processes.
